How to test PCI driver safely

[kalpesh]

I am new to device driver development and I start to develop PCI and
NDIS driver for NIC card. For that I took one sample from DDK (winddk/
src/general/pcidrv/wdm)

Now I want to test this driver but I am afraid for blue screen on my
machine. I also try with VMWare workstation but it not support PCI
device (Not able to add PCI device in VMWare).

So is there any way to test PCI driver. I also tried on my machine but
on first trial I got Blue screen and now I am afraid may be the OS
crash.

Thanks in advance.

Hi, you can debug your driver by windbg which can debug a remote machine
with a serial port or usb port.
